Heard John Gibbons told his team unlimited R&R will no longer be allowed. Is that true?

Was never unlimited lol
Stop listening to whispers & rumors. Look at the HR policy and take as many days as you want within those guidelines. If as a result you are not getting your work done, your manager will tell you that and not approve your R&R requests.
But don't self-regulate your R&R days because of some rumor you heard. That's exactly what they want! They want to put out rumors so you work way more than 40 hrs, make sure you have solid blue on sapience over 40 hrs and skip taking R&R even when you need to AND they never officially ever told you that.
If they walk in one day and fire you for taking too many "unlimited" days then sue them - they will 100% lose in court - so they will never do that!
So stop worrying about what you think they will do & live your life! If they want to get rid of you they will do it anyway - there is no amount of things you can do to change that!
Our team was told this week it had been renamed and removed the "unlimited" part, but that we should continue requesting time off as needed. General consensus was to keep it under 5-6 weeks off for the year.
Unlimited time off really meant unlimited work.
It was never unlimited. I doubt it because we would get paid for vacation on termination.
Unlimited was never really unlimited. They'll still fire you if you take some undisclosed amount they deem "too much."
The real purpose is that if they said you're unlimited, you don't have a bank of hours that they have to pay for when they do a layoff.
It was all a ruse anyway.
They would never get rid of it, otherwise folks would accrue PTO and they would need to pay out when they lay you off. They’ll just lower the amount it actually is. Numbers I heard were 23 days.
If capped at 33 then no loss. It was 33 for long-tenured employees prior to unlimited. If they set the cap lower then they’re stealing from you again.
It’s already capped at 33 days.
It’s been capped for general services for a long time. General services has been getting shafted for years, y’all are just now catching up
Its being capped
